Undereye care

[Chrissy64_uk]

Blame tiredness, late nights, your genes, your other half or whatever you like: everyone hates dark circles and under-eye bags that make you look permanently hung over. And plastering them with undereye concealer only seems to make them more obvious.

What your skin needs:
Cold compresses to freshen your delicate eye area and reduce puffiness.

Ingredients
Good old teabags!

Method
Pop your used teabags in the fridge for a day or overnight. Once they're nice and chilled, pop one on each eyelid, sit back and relax for about 10 minutes. Then apply your eye cream straight away, while your skin is still damp: it'll absorb faster. Dead simple, but it gives you an impressive and instant boost.

Now for a cup of tea..

As the above suggests - similar role for cucumber etc? Fridged - whole or crushed perhaps?

Isnt it more the temperature than the object used? If this is the case a cold anything thats not too solid would do.

I suppose you could or you could dry out the tea bag and use it agine or eat the cucumber after use......:D;)
